Shantae is an interesting game series. Originally released on the Game Boy Advanced, it sold poorly due to coming in near the end of the platform’s life cycle. Despite that, it managed to maintain a solid fanbase and earn two more sequels. Back in 2013, a Kickstarter campaign for a fourth mainstream Shantae game, Shantae: Half-Genie Hero, was launched.

Then, a demo featuring Young Noctis called “Platinum Demo” was available for free download on ...

The 2016 version of Hitman will forever be an example of how opinion towards a product can change quite quickly, when it was originally revealed in 2015 opinions were mixed when regarding the release system and how a Hitman game was now going to release on an episodic format.

There’s no doubt that Street Fighter V has been well received by the Fighting Game Community, considering it had over 5000 entries at EVO 2016 and hardcore fans have been generally satisfied by the new mechanics and changes.
